EXTRAORDINARY TIME

I believe the Lord has called us to an extraordinary life!! To many live in only the mundane and ordinary, when they could live of life of passion and service to the Lord!! So many people always look at other situations in life and think they could always do better. Look at your life now and make it better. You have a GREAT life and SO many opportunities. Make the most of what you have....Become Extraordinary in your life. Become an extraordinary person, husband, wife, employee, owner, etc.... and see your life CHANGE. Rise up from the obscure and become different. You can do it!!! The fear of the Lord makes us great. Godly fear....not scared fear. Draw close to Him in this season of your life!!!

Finish strong on your FAST if you are fasting. 2 days left!!! God is so faithful to us!! Your commitment is changing your life.

It only takes a few moments to secure a lifetime!!!!

GO BE EXTRAORDINARY!!!

Great day today!!! Service was really good. Dreary outside all day, but I really feel something stirring in my spirit for the days ahead!!! This morning's message: Kingdom Advancement. You must personally get involved in building the Kingdom. "If it's going to be....It's up to ME" You are personally connected to everything around you. Remember, Jesus said the kingdom on heaven is at hand (or everywhere around you). If the kingdom is going to advance at New Life it is up to you!!! Wherever you may live it is up to you!! take it personal. God needs you. We are fitly joined together as the body and temple of the Holy Ghost. The kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost!!!! If you need peace or joy then get plugged into the business of building the kingdom!! If this is going to be a year of advancement....Then its up to YOU!!!

Its been an incredible week!!! The new Extraordinary series is Incredible!! I thank God that he is taking us to new heights and new levels everyday!!! The Lord is stirring and blessing all of us!! The FAST has been incredible...New Service times and format are going better than I expected!! The Lord has given us the vision to go forward!!! Whatever your facing in your life, God is able to help you overcome and advance!! This year is PHENOMENAL already. Phenomenal personal advancement is up to you!!! The future is going to be what you make it, but you must move forward!! Work smarter not harder this year!!

Make a list of the 5 most important things for you to do daily, then # them after prayer in the morning to start your day, from the most important down. Then work on #1 until it is finished. Then start #2. Your personal advancement and production will increase!!

You will be more successful this year!!!! FOCUS on important things to bring clarity to ALL things!!!!

Today is a great day for you to shine!!! Go Forward with the Word of God and Shine for the Lord and make it a Great Day!! It is your time!!!! No matter what obstacle is in your way GO FORWARD!! God spoke to Moses and told him to "Quit talking to me....and talk to the children of Israel" He told them to GO FORWARD....but there was an obstacle in their path....the Red Sea. God said GO!!! Many want a word from the Lord, but haven't received or done the previous Word from the Lord??? Do what the Lord said and you will find the blessings that you want to receive!!! Your windshield in your car is about 100 times as big as your rear view mirror.... the reason for that is it much more important to see where your going than to see where you have been!!!! Look Forward.....Advance....

4 lepers were deciding to either die or enter the camp of the Syrians....God had made it sound like a mighty army coming and they fled for their lives.. the lepers entered in without seeing anyone and reaped the benefits of the camp!!! They then shared all the blessings with others!! Others will be blessed by your Advancement!! Advance for yourself and be a blessing for others!!! Some of your blessings are for others......Share yourself this year!!!

Cherish all you have and sow to reap new things in the Lord!!! This is the season of acceleration!!! God speed us up to all you have and want for us!!!

What an Incredible day on Sunday!!! It was such a joy to see Melanie in church!!! What a miracle from God. Just think....several months ago, Dr's said she probably wouldn't make it...they really don't know as much as they think they do!!! I told Danny that the Lord told me she would live and for Him not to give up hope!!! I believe it is a word from God about Advancement in 2011 for the Kingdom and your personal life!!! Phenomenal Advancement!!!!

I preached today Gen 26:12 about Isaac sowing in the land and reaped 100 fold return....but, that wasn't enough for him. vs. 13: and he became rich, and went forward until He became very great(rich). Whatever you need can be found in faithfulness to God!! Personal advancement will make you rich in God:

You must advance in:
Giving, Devotion, Bible Study, Honoring, Blessing, Establishing and ever spiritual thing that
comes to mind. Advance this year in everything!!! Don't sit still...

Find your area to Advance in!!!!

Monday Day 3

If you are on the fast then today is moving day!!! 3rd and 4th day are generally pretty tough. Your body is screaming for the things you have chosen to give up!!! You are tough...You had the spiritual ability to start now stay string in your spirit and DON'T give in!!! Begin to pray that the Lord will open up your spirit unto the new things that He is doing in you through this fast. Don't think for a second that the Devil isn't furiously mad that you are embarking on a spiritual journey, so He will try and side track you with new temptations at every turn. Be strong in the Lord and in the POWER of His might.... You can do it!!! Today was a day for me to get allot of things in order for this year. I feel the Lord is using things in your lives to establish order and provide direction for you today. "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, lean not unto your own understanding....." Don't try and figure out what the Lord is doing....JUST DO IT!!! You are on a journey, pray that Lord establishes and quickens every step. This is the year of Phenomenal Advancement.....So, START Advancing. Enlarge your tent, stretch out the tent poles and see what can happen with you and the Father in connection with each other!! You are PHENOMENAL!!! Go Shine for Jesus...

What A great start to 2011!!! Incredible day with lots of changes...... Today was our 1st day of new service times and WOW was I excited about the turn-out!!! We had some that showed up after 11am and were pretty surprised that they had missed most of the service. We announced for over a month and sent out hundreds of texts and FB posts, but some just didn't get the message.

This morning I shared about the value of time. All we have is time. 2011 must be a year that we devote our time and efforts to the Lord. We all have the same allotted time in a day, week, month and year. Some, just do a better job with it. Most at the end of their lives just wish they had more TIME. Tonight as I close out the 1st Sunday of the year I just want to encourage you to really look to the Lord and ask him about the choices of time you are making. Your life to this point is a conglomeration of all the choices that you have made to get you where you currently are. Thousands of choices and decisions have made you who you are today and positioned you exactly where you choices have led you. This week prioritize your time and make good decisions about it. There are so many things to do with your time...choose wisely. The Lord gives wisdom and instruction.... Get wisdom and receive instruction from the Lord. Success is always achieved with a beginning and a continuing.... Continue today on your Fast, your prayer time and your devotionals (Is. 58) to the Lord. Pray and seek the face of God about decisions and opportunities that He will open for you.

Life can change in an instant.....

The Lord will change everything that you want Him to change......but, He will do this by changing YOU!!!!

Starting 2011

2011 a year of "Phenomenal Advancement in the Kingdom!!" This is going to be a year to increase your awareness and responsibility to the kingdom of God!! Pray about your positioning in the Kingdom and the work that He has called you to do!! We are again starting the new year with a FAST!! No Meats, Sweets or Bread and drinking only water!! It is a commitment for 21 days that will strengthen your relationship with the Father and help you to focus on the tasks at hand for the kingdom!! Is. 58 is the word of the Lord concerning Fasting for you to read, research and apply to your life. Fasting is a Discipline. Make up your mind to do it and it wont matter. Your focus will determine your outcome!! Focus with intensity and pray for the will of the Father to be done in your life, your church and your family!!! Your discipline will effect and affect others!! Your fast could be securing your destiny this year or even someone else's!! Pray and Focus today on Is. 58:5-14!!! Blessings to you on your Spiritual Journey toward Christ!!!

Proud Daddy!!!

I was so proud for my daughter Krista to be named the 2009 Homecoming Queen for Hudson High School!!! I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful girl as my daughter. She is everything and so much more than I could have ever hoped or dreamed for in a child. She is so incredible!!! All of her life I have watched the way that she handles and carries herself. She always has time for everyone. After the crowning Friday night, I watched her and just admired her grace as she had time for everyone. She isn't haughty about her beauty or talents, she just pays attention to all of the things around her and makes everyone feel special. From the littlest of children to the oldest of adults, Krista communicates and shows her love to everyone and lets them feel how important they are to her. Saturday, at the little dribblers games, I watched so many kids just run up to her and just hug her and so how excited they were and Krista just loved on everyone of them like they were family. She has made her mother and I so proud with all of her accomplishments and efforts. Truly, the sky is the limit for Krista, because she has set her heart and affections on the Lord!! God is rewarding her openly!! Also, this past week she became the 2009 D.A.R. Award recipient. This award is chosen by the teachers and given to someone with outstanding community and leadership qualities. She has given her all to so many things in high school and God is rewarding her for her efforts!!

We must all strive to make this world a better place together!! Krista has made this world a brighter place for so many people with her love and dedication. I'm thankful that I know her as her Father!!!

Center of HIS Will

We must stay in the center of God's Will for our lives!! The center is the target area in sport shooting. We are aiming to be in the perfect will of God. A bullseye in archery is a perfect shot. While we may not always be perfect, we must always strive for perfection!! We were created to walk in HIS power to change the streets like Peter did. His will for your life is to operate in His power and see His glory. We have been experiencing His Glory for the past couple of weeks in the church in a magnificent way!! At our celebration service last night we had a completely jam-packed, super excited group of teenagers and adults ready to celebrate the fast and the things God has done for us to start the year!! Is. 38:18 says "The dead cannot celebrate the Lord." We are not dead so lets make sure that we are celebrating the Lord everyday!!! Many spoke of the visions and dreams the Lord has been giving and how they were encouraged to extend the fast to the 40 day point!! There were incredible testimonies from adults and teenagers talking about how God was mending families, changing hearts and touching our lives through the fast!! We are seeing a move of God and it is just incredible. I want to encourage you to really look to the Lord and let Him direct your fast and heart in everything you do!! The center of God's will for your life is to stay close and stay clean!! Stay close to God and stay away from sin!! I appreciate you reading the blog and I know the Lord is blessing all of us together. Send me an email and let me know what is going on in your life!! Let's continue to pack the house and experience the move of God together!!
